Another bakes fresh desserts in the middle of a harbor town, and a co-op stocks bulk spices perfect for holiday cookies.

6 Maine Winter Farmers Markets Where Locals Stock Up On Fresh Food Before Thanksgiving

One Maine winter market sets up inside an old mill, and another one in a church center. Farmers selling carrots next to a church kitchen? I love that detail.
